Produce Pick: Zucchini

Farmers markets aren't just a great spot to pick up locally-grown produce, but it's also an ideal outing to show your kids new food and teach them where their food comes from. Melissa of The Fresh 20 tells us, "Farmers’ markets are perfect family outings. While you browse, you can take the time to introduce new foods and new colors to young children. You can also involve them – let them carry a small reusable shopping bag and be in charge of carrying the salad greens! Many farmers’ love to talk about their gardens and fields, so see what information they can share with you and your family. Zucchini is a perfect end-of-summer vegetable that everyone has. My kids especially love it on pizza with grilled steak and fresh tomatoes."
